When I moved to Glasgow earlier this year, I found myself with the prospect of finding a doctors…read moresurgery. I did a quick search on the net and wrote down a few addresses, and then headed off to do a bit of a reccy. The first few surgeries on my list looked so awful that I didn't even go in. I was starting to wonder whether they had ANY nice looking surgeries in my area when I finally came across one that looked just about alright. I went in to find a very crowded small room, and dubiously asked the receptionist whether I could register with them. Unfortunately, she told me that they weren't registering patients at the moment - and pointed me in the direction of Abingdon Medical Practice on Stewartville Street. When I reached Stewartville Street, I swear a breathed a massive sigh of relief. Not only was it very clean and pleasant looking, when I got in it was bright airy and nearly empty. Registering was really quick and easy. It's easy to get an appointment, once you get there you don't usually have to wait for too long, and they have a large selection of magazines in the waiting room. The receptionists are also really nice, not like the grumpy ones you normally find in health practices. Basically, just about everything you could ask for from a doctors surgery.

I've never been a fan of GP's - can't say I've ever really had a 'positive' experience, and I do…read morefear them a little, which isn't something I can really explain... So, signing up at a new GP for me was shaping up to be a bit of an ordeal but it really wasn't. The sign up was painless, the reception was so easy to deal with and friendly too. The following day I got a doctor appointment, even met the nurse who was very warm and friendly, made me feel right at home. So far, great experience with this medical practice. Couldn't ask for more really.

Nice, modern and friendly dr's surgery. Easy to get an appointment most days with one of a good…read morechoice of dr's, all of who are all helpful and sympathetic to their patients.

It seems as though they get new ones in all the time…read more Fine by me, its tough getting an appointment as it is, its nice to get one within a day or two of calling for once. Situated in the lovely Broomhill area, in an older building, the practice as a whole is pretty warm and welcoming. One of the receptionists can be a bit ornery at times, but if you're nice, so is she. A while back, they updated their check in procedure with a touch screen check in. Welcome to the modern world Broomhill Practice. I'm moving soon, and out of the postcode that they accept as patients. It will be sad to leave, but that's how things work here in Scotland. No walk in medical treatment unless you live in the postcode they cater to. (Hospitals available to anyone)

Anyway, I'm a regular here...and whilst that's not a good script, I'm glad THIS surgery is the one I am registered at as its clean, friendly and gladly the staff have a clue!! Woooop!! Admittedly, sometimes it's frustrating trying to get a "routine" appointment, it can be a week's wait sometimes...but the receptionists are VERY good at trying to find something that fits into your schedule! The doctors are all knowledgeable (thankfully!!!) and seem to order all necessary tests immediately so no waiting around or multiple visits! I've recently received some excellent service from the surgery relating to a recent thyroid-issue diagnosis...there was no faffing about, I was referred to the endocrinology dept at the hospital really quickly and they even asked which hospital would be easiest for me to get to! Grand! They also have a handy prescription service where they've linked up with local Boots branches, so repeats are just sent down ready for collection...saves a trip and very helpful!

Also the receptionists are a amazing always very helpful and kind, and nothing is ever to much trouble for them. I wouldn't want to ever change my Dr's they and also the nurses are all fantastic. Keep up the good work everyone at the practice. My reason for leaving this review is I truly think the Dr's, Nurses and receptionists are all due a massive thank you for keeping their thousands of patients as safe and healthy as possible recently I have had a couple of referrals and to my surprise I was seen pretty quickly. The surgery it's self is spotlessly clean. I did this review because I want others to know my 5 star ratings are well deserved, I rate this practice a cut above other practices because the Dr's actually listen to what I have to say they take the time to explain exactly what the problem is and they just make me feel at ease which then makes me feel at ease and more able to explain myself properly. God bless you all, Stay safe and Merry Christmas from myself Anne Riddell
